I think that the Fox News Channel is making the right choice to cancel the Glenn Beck TV Show.

If the Fox News Channel is not really a credible News Source Channel, then why did President Barack Obama agreed to be Interviewed by Fox News Channel's commentator Bill O'Reilly before the Super Bowl???

Jon Stewart nailed Brett Baier on his show, showing the bias where when he interviewed Bush, Stewart said it was like a lovefest whereas with Obama he was constantly interrupting him. RUDE. But then we have come to expect that from Fox.

LOL... How does Obama agreeing to be interviewed on Fox lend credibility to Fox?

I never cease to be amazed that people buy this idea that Faux News is credible. It's informational incest. People just keep repeating the same BS over and over to each other without getting any outside information until the information they breed is mentally re-tarded.

The same way the Daily Show constantly receives recognition as the foremost news information show on TV.

The only difference is the Daily show reports what has happened and Fox frequently makes its own news by having the opinion commentators repeat their unified message one day and then reporting these thoughts as news the next day.

Reporting Glenn Beck's rambling thoughts as news the next day must have been too formidable of task for writers to handle.

In his defense on this last point, Beck staged some tremendous news events for Fox through his rallies.

Glenn Beck's approach is the equivalent to television what half the posters on this board are to the internet. Sensational delivery, selective points and knowingly misleading.

Some issues he brings up deserve the attached sensationalism because of their potential severity.

It was irresponsible to give that bozo a forum to misinform, mislead, and stir up the public in the first place. Faux "News" (the political and financial news equivalent of the Weekly World News) is a travesty. It will continue to be a travesty without the brown shirt Beck.

Incorrect. It is about the sovereignty of God.

Hoops, your interpretation is a bit terse. With a few moments reconsideration I think you are correct. I am unable to leave it without adding I think the parable is also about Gods goodness and human blind self concern. However the interpretation you criticize, though perhaps lacking something, is I think a world better than thinking the parable is refuting the value of a minimum wage. That is such a gross distortion of meaning as to make me wonder if the report of Huckabee making such a connection is in error. I am not inclined to agree with Huckabee but he has not generally struck me as that devoted to his political dogma.
